KILLTUBE,pilot for the feature film

"KILLTUBE"
Condensing 108 unique experiments from different fields of expertise into one theatrical anime.
Behold. Edo, 2026.
[Synopsis]
In 2026, Japan continues its isolation under the Edo Shogunate. Amidst strict social hierarchies, three individuals, treated as scums of society, cross paths in a prison cell destined for a fateful encounter. They join the dueling video platform ""KILLTUBE"" to pursue fortune and to win their freedom in a segregational world.
In an era dubbed the ""Age of Great Duels,"" where one can amass immense wealth simply by defeating the strong, they face discrimination from samurais and merchants seeking power and authority. As they break the limits of convention and claim victory after victory, they rise in popularity, becoming decorated celebrities of their time.
However, just as they reach the height of their fame, they uncover the hidden truth behind "KILLTUBE"...

0:57 For those who cannot read Japanese. Here is what it says in Japanese. "Bindings in the world, cut all of them" The word "斬る kiru ＝ cut " here is the word used by when samurai cut something with katana, and it also means to kill. The Japanese word "斬る kiru" has two meanings: to cut and to kill. It is coincidentally pronounced similarly to the English word kill. Furthermore, this story is a story about video culture and the existence of services like KZbin. That is why the title is "KILLTUBE".
